Brighton Parent Infant Psychological Therapy

Changing the future, one baby at a time… Having a baby is supposed to be one of the happiest and most rewarding experiences of your life. The reality is often quite different. Expecting or caring for a baby can stir up powerful emotions such as anxiety, depression, anger and even hostility. Experiencing these emotions, in addition to sleep deprivation, may leave you struggling to cope or finding it hard to respond to your infant’s needs. When such extreme emotions persist over time, you know that you are not just “having a bad day” – it is okay to ask for help.

Brighton PIP is a charity (Registered Charity Number 1177084) offering intensive support to expectant parents and those with newborn babies up until the age of three. Through individual therapy or group sessions, we help parents fulfil their child’s needs by understanding the world through their eyes and by tuning into the signals they send out. Our work strengthens the parent-infant relationship, helping to form a loving bond which is crucial for a child’s future well-being.

We realise that parenting is the hardest yet most important job. Not only do parents have to adjust to a major life change, they often feel under pressure to be the “perfect” mother or father. BrightPIP exists to support parents through this challenging time.
